“Jenny has been an amazing dogsitter for us. We have started using her every time we go out of town. Our 3 dogs have very different personalities. One is old, one is a very large puppy, and the third doesn't love to play with other dogs. Despite their differences, she has been able to manage them seemlessly. She is caring and truly loves our dogs. She sent lots of pictures so we could se how cuddled and happy they were. I would highly recommend Jenny's services.”
“Savannah was wonderful with Alice during her four-night stay! She communicated consistently, sent updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Most importantly, Alice absolutely loved her and came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Savannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter for their dog.”
“Fred came home so happy! Him and Jackson had a fantastic time hiking, snuggling, and hanging. Jackson was great to send us pictures and updates. He was also very accommodating with pick up and drop off times. We are grateful that Fred has a new trusted pal.”
“Couldn't have had a better experience. William sent messages and photos to make sure I knew The Dude was not just in good hands, but relaxed and having fun. Knowing Dude was well taken care of made my trip so much sweeter. Great communication. Great care. Great experience.”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. Since I’m home most of the day, your pet will have constant supervision, care, and companionship. I understand how important pets are to families, and I’ll treat your dog like my own while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care, and I can stay flexible with different routines and needs. Your pet won’t ever be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of playtime, supervision, and care. I have an 8-month-old female dog and a cat in my home, so I’m very used to caring for animals daily and making sure they stay safe, comfortable, and happy. Your animals can play with mine and I always supervise interactions between pets and pay attention to their behavior to keep the environment calm and stress-free. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs, to help every pet feel secure and well cared for.
“Darek was fantastic with my pup! She was a happy girl when I picked her up. On top of that, my trip ended up getting extended two extra days and Darek was so helpful and communicative during the whole process, it took a huge weight off of my shoulders as a pet parent! Definitely recommend him as a sitter and will be using him again!!”
“Thanks Tarah for Ranger’s visit. Sounds like he had a wonderful adventure filled visit. He was definitely tired but happy when we picked him up. We would love to have you watch him again!”
“Dean is a great guy and took excellent care of Rocket. He always sent updates with photos and videos and it always looked like Rocket was having a great time (out for walks, playing with Dean and his other dogs and having that happy look on his face). We would recommend Dean to anyone looking for their dog to be taken care of in Telluride.”
“Nichole is a wonderful sitter!! We boarded our white Golden Retriever, Kodiak with her while we were at Wanderlust Squaw and got wonderful photos back from her! It was like leaving your dog with a professional photographer. Some of the photos we got back we are framing:) She is a kind and patient sitter and you can tell she really LOVES dogs. She also has a white Golden Retriever ("English Cream") and the two pups got along famously! We'll be using her services again if we are up that way!!”
“Aliana did a great job. She met us in town for drop off and pick up which was super convenient. Kachina had lots of time to run around, Aliana sent us pictures and checked in throughout the weekend. Our girl was very happy and healthy when she returned. Highly recommend Aliana !”
“Devon took such great care of Maia for us and the bonus was that she had a new playmate to go on walks with in a beautiful area. She had the best time and we’ll definitely be back soon!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up with a black lab at home and now my family has another black lab. I have done extensive training with her and I’m now able to take her into stores and other public indoor spaces that are dog friendly. I have a passion for training dogs. I care a lot about animal health and will respect whatever rules you hold for your dog or cat. I have experience with leash aggressive dogs, and dogs that are not good with other dogs. I have a calm and caring demeanor that dogs pick up on immediately. I cat sit for my best friends cat quite often. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to watch over pups and cats. I’m in school for herbalism and have night class 2x a week and day class every other Saturday. . I listen to the rules of the animals’ owner so they can keep up with their normal routine. They will be leashed if they are used to it, off leash if that’s what they’re used to. Animals are always the safest when you follow the same rules as their parents.
About: I'm a lifelong dog owner who has cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments from puppyhood to senior golden years. Looking forward to providing what your dog needs, whether that's cozy-calm companionship, playtime, and/or exploring on walks and hikes. Growing up I raised livestock, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of pet care needs, including administering medications, managing feeding routines, and paying close attention to behavior, safety, and comfort. Because I work on a school-year calendar, I have additional availability during the summer for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the week. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort by following each dog’s usual routine and paying close attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual quirks.
“Jack and Kenya were wonderful with our senior dogs. Their communication was great throughout our dogs stay, with pictures and updates. Our dogs came home happy and tired. We would highly recommend Jack and Kenya for dog boarding.”
About: I have been the luckiest dog mom to two of the sweetest and most special Frenchies for almost 12 years. Sadly, they both moved on within 3 weeks of each other and I need to watch yours now :) If you are reading this and you have a Frenchie, you know that they have very specific needs as compared to other dogs. They're barely dogs. I will go out of my way to do all of the crazy things that you are afraid to ask a dog sitter to do including but not limited to: carrying them up and down stairs and on/off furniture. Ensuring that a mountain lion or hawk doesn't pick them off with constant supervision in my fully-fenced yard. Letting them sleep and snuggle on the couch and in the bed. Giving them some insane-to-understand food preparation because that's "just how they like it." Keeping their snout smooth, ears and wrinkles cleaned, and tush tidy. Ensuring that they don't overheat or drown. These are legitimately all of the fears that I had and I could never find a consistent trusted dog sitter so I often could not leave my pups. Let me help you! My husband and I work from home and want a little Frenchie buddy to play with during the day. We're not ready to own another at the moment but are happy to provide top notch care to your friend. Your pups will always be supervised in the backyard. We have a dog door but our Frenchies were never taught to use it because of the risk of a wildlife encounter without our supervision. They will be monitored to ensure that they don't hurt their backs (carrying up/down stairs and on/off furniture. No toys will be left out if they are left alone to minimize any hazards. If there is an emergency we have had to deal with seizures in the past and know the protocol. We are happy to bring them to the vet if we feel it's necessary.
“Ava was great with Dixie and did an awesome job of staying in communication with me as she was watching her! She stepped up when I needed daycare last second which was super clutch. Would definitely book again :)”

About: I have experience taking care of my own cats and others since I was young. I am good with cats of all kinds and I find it incredibly important to respect their space and go at their pace. I've had great success with getting shy or aggressive cats to open up and become comfortable with me. I have never taken care of a hairless cat but I would love to meet one and learn the unique aspects of their care as well.

“Dean was fantastic with our 11 month old Bernedoodle, Patti Mayonnaise! She’s quite the adventurous dog, but Dean gave her all the walks and love she needed. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and kept us connected with tons of photos and videos. He even saved the day by providing a harness and poop bags when we realized we had left ours behind. We highly appreciate his care and will definitely be reaching out to Dean every time we visit Telluride!”
“Anna is amazing! She is awesome with my 8 month old puppy and clearly knows a lot about dogs. Fritz loves his time with her- she is responsible, caring, and understanding. Would 100% recommend her!”
“Sierra was awesome!! We had another sitter cancel last minute and Sierra was able to watch our 5 1/2 month old puppy. She sent us photos and videos of our pup playing with the others, and it was so awesome that he was able to play with other pups during the day. Sierra is a professional and we felt relieved to leave our puppy with her. This was our first time using the app so it was very sad to leave him for the day, and she was fantastic and we're very grateful she was able to watch him. Thanks you again Sierra!”

About: I'd love to give your pets the royal treatment while you are away! I have had dogs (and cats) all my life, and have cared for many breeds of all ages from puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I have also volunteered with a local animal shelter, spending several hours a week caring for sweet pets looking for homes. I dog and cat sit for friends and neighbors, and have recommendations if needed! I work remotely so I'm typically very available to take care of your furry ones! I'm very active and love taking dogs for walks, hikes or runs. I'm happy to follow whatever processes and instructions you provide for your loved furry ones! I am flexible and want your pups and kitties to be as happy and comfortable as possible!
“Daisy and Max were so lucky to have Sierra looking out for them! She takes them on hikes, gives them lots of love, and her dog, Aspen, is super cute. Daisy and Aspen wore each other out. We feel super good leaving the pups with Sierra. We know they are in good hands!”
